on October 9, 2008 and in Europe on February 12, 2009.
The single player campaign of the game is made up of a series of varied mini-games which can be played in single player mode.

Gameplay

The game is played by one or more players, local or online, using their controller to hit a football, which is much larger than the cars themselves, into the opposing goal. Each goal gets one point, and whoever has the most points when the timer runs out wins. If both teams are tied when the timer runs out, it goes into sudden death over-time mode, where whoever gets a point first wins. The overtime game mode can theoretically last forever.
There are also many various mini games and tournaments.

Cars

New players have only two cars but there are seven vehicles in total, unlocked by finishing mini-game challenges or playing on-line. According to the developers each car has the same speed, strength and agility. However, as the game relies heavily on physics, the subtle differences in the cars leads them to each "behave slightly different."

Updates

In addition to lowering the price to USD$9.99 (GBP £7.99 and EUR €9.99, the last is cheaper than the U.S. version, but is more expensive than the british), On December 18, 2008 Psyonix released a free update to the game that fixed numerous netplay-related bugs, refined the online lobby and matchmaking aspects, and added the arena Cosmic.

The latest patch was released in early August 2009. The patch had fixed numerous bugs in the game. It also added two new arenas for the game, Galleon, which is set on a ship sailing the seas on a cold spring night and Stadium, a European style football stadium.

Sequel

In March of 2011 Psyonix revealed there is an upcoming sequel to the game which is still in development, however they are having difficulties selling the game to publishers.
